Remember, UU’s is the number of Gamertags that have played a game. In the case of Arcade titles, that list is ranked by purchased games. That is why the Arcade titles may be ranked out of order on the top list. Some Arcade titles may be purchased by one Gamertag, but played by multiple Gamertags.

I have received quite a bit of email me asking to post the top downloads on the Video Marketplace (in addition to the Xbox Live activity list I post each week.) Here are the top 10 TV and Movie downloads between Dec. 11 and Dec 17th.
